Collage Clean-Up

I'm tidying up my desktop (the computer desktop; the actual desktop is beyond hope), so here are a few recent collages I've scanned. Varying success, but experimentation is always a good thing IMHO.

I was inspired by the concertina book sent by Jack, which I posted about here. I had several packing tape transfers I'd made, so I made Jack a concertina book in return. This is just the one side.

I made the transfers using photos from a magazine from BC's public television station. For September and Labour Day they had several shows related to working people. I thought they made very interesting photo transfers.

I'm not digging the green in the Louvre map, but so be it.

I made this for a Swap Bot exchange (a postcard with a postal theme). Love this historic image of the fellows in the mail room. Not so crazy about the rubber stamps I used. The red ink in particular is kind of wrong.

Hi Dori and Pamela, Thanks for visiting; I appreciate it! Fall has definitely arrived here, which is great news for the salmon, forests, and water table. Slippers are out, fireplace is on, and (hopefully) more time in the studio soon. Have a lovely day!

Tough City Writer

I'm a writer and editor from Tofino (aka Tough City, thus Tough City Writer). When I first started this blog, it was to focus on books, writing, reading, occasionally my own writing, and other subjects of questionable worth. Now, I'm expanding the scope - art, life, food, travel - whatever inspires me to get my fingers on the keyboard. For posts more specific to Tofino, check out my other blog, The Heart of Tofino, www.theheartoftofino.com. For more about my work, see www.adriennemason.com.
